2011-11-25 Thread Brenda J. Butler
The function that returns ENOMEM is actually copy_mm. It returns ENOMEM when dup_mm returns 0. copy_mm receives clone_flags and task_struct * tsk. I think tsk is pointing to the new task (the process being forked). copy_mm assigns some values into *tsk, then: tsk-mm = NULL;

The thing that returns ENOMEM in fork.c when this failure occurs is: dup_mm I still have to see why. To try distinguishing between the ENOMEM returns, I tried adding a flag to the return value (eg: retval = -(ENOMEM | 0x8000) retval = -(ENOMEM | 0x4000) retval = -(ENOMEM | 0x2000) etc
